To fix that . . . don't move your mouse.
Tricky little things those pointers, they're hard to catch.
Try taking your hand from the mouse, and then . . . POUNCE!

    On a related note:

    http://www.thefreesite.com/Seasonal_Freebies/April_Fools/

    and scroll down or search  for    ClickMe .
    Read the description  - it is very short.

    As with anything of this nature, it is all in the timing of when you apply the joke.
    But given the right timing and atmosphere, this one is funny.



    Regarding Firefox:

    Still running 1.5.0.9 here.  As a matter of fact, just upgraded from .8 a day or two ago.    Stayed with the 1.5  after I read some stuff that made me feel like waiting.

    But as far as .8 to .9 goes,   I happened to see:
    http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=502436
    that thread.  
    It quickly went up to a couple hundred posts.    It was mostly about the 2. ver , but some of the comments were about the 1.5 ver too.
    After the smoke seemed to settle,  I went ahead with letting Firefox update itself from .8 to .9 , and have not experienced any noticeable problems.

    How about you all?    Anything like that which was mentioned in that thread?


    Specifically about 2.0.0.1:
    Have you read:  http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=502593
    and:

    http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=504781&sid=d4ef486bf17b31e3a029fd2127d6604b

    If you hadn't seen these already, I thought I'd mention them in case you might be interested in following them for a few days.
    There are probably more there that might interest you too.

    Still running 1.5.0.9 here, too.  I installed 2.0 on a computer with which I formatted the hard drive  and reinstalled Windows for my mother, tested it for awhile, and noticed no problems.

      MR Tech local install extension allows you to run themes and extensions that have yet to be updated...

      Very Handy.
